route 66 funding payday - read all about this

Yeah you are right. Do you think they will start taking money out of my account even though I didn't accept any loan? I really hope they didn't get all my information!

They shouldn't, but they're very sneaky, so just monitor your account for awhile. If you see any debits you can't account for, ask your bank right away who they're from. Route 66 goes under many names. Let us know if we can be of any more help.

Folks - officially over one week later, after sending e-mails with the letter from Polly's blog and talking with Rt. 66 (and getting nowhere - they wouldn't give me a written debt validation unless I made a payment arrangement), I have heard nothing more from them. I'm going to give it another week or so before I consider the matter closed.

I'm assuming they are now aware that they are under investigation by my state (thank you Polly) and are finally backing off.

Suebeehoney70,

That's great news! I'm sure with all the complaints the AGs are getting and the fact that so many states are thinking about new laws regarding these PDLs, they're being a little more careful about stepping on too many toes. Congratulations!

after sending my letter like 60 times for the past week, i got a call from Route 66 funding they now want $450 after i already paid them $1770.00 on a 200 loan they refuse to email me saying they do not do agreements over the email, all the comunications has to be via phone.

i refused all communications via phone so the "supervisor" came on the phone and said you can pay fees forever on this loan but you will still owe the principal, i told her i file a report with the FTC, AG and BBB that did not face her a bit, i kept insisting they email me and she kept repeating the same thing over and over so i hug up on her.

what do you think will be their next action? now i'm a little scared nothing sees to face them...and i cannot closed my bank account because is overdrawn...omg

I just applied for a PDL with another company and immediately got a call from these guys. I called them back just to check (I read some these messages first!) and only confirmed my name and phone number. I told them I wasn't interested and to not call me anymore. The guy said "Ok". Having returned the call, but not giving them any other information other than my name and phone number, is it possible that I may be in trouble with them anyway? They sound pretty shady based on your comments, so now I'm kinda paranoid. Can anyone tell me anything about my situation? Am I ok or not?

learn the new collections law that went into effect this year. they don't have to stop collection activities while they are validating debt. guess you have to find another rock to hide behind and another relative to steal from.

Guest,

No one here is hiding behind rocks - we are all in the same boat (more or less) of having made the mistake of using PDL companies in a time of need. None of us dispute the fact that we owe the original debt - what we DO dispute is the fact that these companies (especially internet PDL's) are mostly unlicensed, charging illegal interest rates, and harrass their "clients" into paying much more than is required by law.

Also, we are fully aware that collection activities do not have to stop during debt validation, but when a company will not even validate the debt they say is owed, in writing (which is required by the law you're so fond of referring to), it is impossible to consider doing further business with them.

If you have something useful to contribute, by all means, please feel free to do so.

i think the guest works for PDL company and is upset because the commision checks are getting smaller and smaller every month.

Guest, you are entitled to your own opinion, i was told once if you don't have anything nice to say don't anything at all.

I got 4 calls today "Fernando" the first time he called i asked him where he was calling from he said Bank of America and hung up.
then i called the number back and someother guy "oscar" picked up and was all apologetic, while i was talking to him the other guy, was calling me back, so i picked up here is how it went:

HIM: you owe 500 and we going to debit it from your account, i'm just calling to inform you.

ME: i told your company yesterday that all contact is to be made via emial or USPS i'm not hiding from you guys.

HIM: we are dibiting your account 500, make an arrengement now and we will settle for 300

ME: i'm not paying one more cent, i paid 1777.00 on a 200 loan, i filed a complaint with the BBB, FTC and the AG's office

HIM: this is going on your credit report you will never ever ever credit againg, i'm sending you to
jail.

ME: yeah okay send it to the FBI,CIA, i have no credit anyways...your company is threathing me and that is call extortion i will call the FBI.

HIM: we will debit your account and acuse you of fraud.youre going to jail

ME: thats okay i will let the Ag, BBB and FTC deal with you please respond to them, also you say you're in NY if so your illegal there too, and why were you guys calling me from a UK number yesterday

HIMhe started to stutter, we are in the UK)

ME: i'm filing a complaint with bank of america you're not supposed to be inpersonating them.

HIM: well you were not answering our calls

ME: oh yes i was!! i talked to you guys twice yesterday.

HIM; now screaming you have to pay and will debt your account and the money BETTER be there.

so after listening to im scream for a while i hung up, i was tired of him, he was veyr scarcastic, demading and plain unproffesional.

these people are the worst people ever!!! has anyone gotten rid of them???

I've been getting these same phone calls. I got three in a row this morning at work. I told them repeatedly that I didn't apply for a $200 loan and to stop calling me. Haven't received a call in 40 mins, but I'm afraid they'll keep bugging me. How to make these calls stop ASAP!? I'm not trying to get fired because they have no respect.... It was my mistake for giving out my work number, but this is annoying as heck. Help!

oh these people are vicious they will call and call and evertime is like you never even talk to them.

I just call bank america and filed a complaint with them hopefully they will me this time.
